Please Don't "Litter"

Kitten with trash

Did You Lose Something? Trash along Rt. 14
Is this the image we want folks to have when they visit or pass through Gloucester?

Roadside litter and trash are eyesores and can be dangerous and unhealthy.  Please do your part by ensuring your trash is transported securely and disposed of in the proper place.


Citizens Needed for Clean Community Committee

The Clean Community Committee of Gloucester County is seeking interested citizens from the Petsworth, Ware, and York Magisterial Districts to serve as members of the advisory group. Committee members plan and participate in cleanup, public education, and outreach activities. Currently the Committee is addressing litter prevention efforts through coordinated cleanups, advocating for improvements to Virginia’s litter law, promoting green initiatives, and working to increase awareness of how litter negatively affects the local environment.

The committee meets monthly to discuss matters relating to county beautification efforts, litter prevention and cleanup programs, recycling, and environmental education. The Committee usually meets the third Tuesday of each month (except July) at 6:30 PM. Meetings are held at Botetourt Elementary School, 6361 Main Street in Gloucester.  There are times when meetings must be rescheduled due to conflicts.  Please check here or on the 
County's calendar for updates or changes.

The March Clean Community Committee meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 19 at Botetourt Elementary School, 6361 Main Street in Gloucester and will begin at 6:30 PM.

Citizens interested in serving should complete Volunteer Board Bank information form available on the county’s website or e-mail William Bell or call 804-693-5370.

Clean Community Program Volunteers Making A Difference
Gloucester County's Clean Community Program promotes litter prevention; helps educate county residents on ways to reduce, reuse, recycle, and properly manage waste materials; and assists in effective beautification to help create a healthier, safer, and more livable community. The program is directed by the Clean Community Committee and supported by hundreds of community volunteers who work to help keep Gloucester beautiful, clean, and litter free.
